To make the UI more minimalistic. If you want full URL, check the option Show full URL in the combined address and search bar in Opera settings. This option is shown if another option is checked: Show advanced settings.

Opera writes session.* files to disk each ~10 seconds. They are SQLite databases and can grow. I've had a 4 MB session.db once. You can imagine how this would affect my SSD, if it wasn't on a RAM disk.

To reduce writing onto SSD, move session.* files to a RAM disk, replacing them in the original profile with NTFS symlinks.

To reduce the file sizes if they've grown too big:
If you want to keep session content (remember which pages you have open), use the command,
sqlite3 session.db "VACUUM;"
(get sqlite3 from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html)
Or, if you don't care about sessions, just delete the files. Opera will re-create them.

It's a standard Chromium approach. The architects decided that per-host zoom level setting would minimise the number of zoom operations needed to adjust to each site's design pattern, which is usually the same for its entire domain. Of course, this is not true sometimes (i.e. for blogging platforms, etc.), but serves well with the majority of sites.
